    Yeah definitely. If he's fine with it.. btw @Arch Dogg gives 2 examples that are very different. Married with kids etc or 2 months.. there is a lot in between (like together for a few years) that would make it less easy to make a decision

    @Immy I don't know the background but that doesn't seem like a big deal tbh

    Haha I've got Arch on ignore so I can't see his s--- but I'm speaking pretty much strictly about what @Immy's scenario is which is 3 months that's why I think it's more in the friends hands.

    It's a sticky situation because yeah they obviously won't married etc and him askin for nudes etc ain't great on his part but if hes the type @Immy alluded to then even asking if it's cool could create a shitstorm just as much as jusy goin for it would.

    With all due respect but I feel it's a decent question right now ha

    Oh yeah you're fine pretty much. I'd still ask your friend and see if it was good.

    My friend (not anymore) didn't even wait a day to ask out my ex.

    Ehh it's not the route I'd take if he was a friend but I feel you've got a pretty decent amount of responses to make an educated decision on the matter

    LOL @ #3. f--- that guy, what a piece of s---. He doesn't sound like a person you'll be friends with post-college anyway. But if he's in your circle of friends and is close with other people and you think it'll be a weird situation, I'd say it's probably not worth it unless you think this has potential to be more than a fling, which is definitely worth more than a semi-friendship with some dude who asks other chics for nudes while he's in a relationship. It's a year later so it shouldn't really matter though honestly.

    I will say from experience: I casually dated a girl for a month or two in college and then we ended things because we had both recently gotten out of long term relationships (1.5 years+) and weren't ready for something bigger. She started dating someone in my group of friends about a month later. I considered him a friend but he wasn't in my closest circle. I was pissed at him for a few months but got over it and our relationship is exactly the same as it was before. I mostly felt betrayed because they kinda did it behind my back and she basically lied to me even though I knew I wasn't ready for a relationship.
